I just build a new machine and installed Home Premium. I use to have
an older machine with XP Pro. There were some snap-ins that seem to
be not in the Home Premium version. I want to be able to control
certain things like locking the system out when passwords fail after 3
attempts, and clearing page files on exit. Would these snap in only
be in the Ultimate version?

Yes, the Vista Home Premium is still a "home" version, similar to XP Home.
The normal upgrade path from XP Pro is to go to Vista Business or Vista
Ultimate.

Many of the changes that are possible using the Group Policy Editor
(GPEdit.msc), and Security Policy Editor (secpol.msc) can be implemented in
Vista Home Premium using direct registry edits. There is a document that
describes all of the Group Policy settings and their associated registry
locations in the Group Policy Editor reference that can be downloaded here:
